Thanks, this means we can start copying leap-seconds.list directly from 
the IERS instead of indirectly via the NIST. I noticed a minor glitch 
when trying to do that, so I sent the IERS some email about it (ccing 
this list) and hope they can fix it.

While waiting for the fix, I wrote and installed the attached proposed 
patch. This should make it easier for Tim and I to automatically 
propagate a new version of the leap seconds file from the IERS, whenever 
a new version comes out. You can test this in your own repository by 
running "make commit-leap-seconds.list". You'll need the usual GNU/Linux 
tools to do so (this should be OK since we already assume Git etc. for 
maintainers).
